This is normal for a turboprop aircraft and is due to propwash hitting the tail fin. Use the rudder pedals to compensate for this effect on takeoff and landing, and the rudder trim in the other phases of flight. Please note that this effect diminishes as the airspeed increases. Refer to slip skid indicator on the PFD (two-section triangle at the top of the attitude ball) - try to align both sections."

Fellow Captains and First Officers, its been a while since we have shared information regarding progress of the MJC_Q400 from behind the scenes. Although it has seemed to be somewhat quiet, the Boss has been rather busy working on several major components for the PRO Edition, also there were some required fixes needed for the recent release of Prepar3d's version 2.5.

So for starters, we are releasing patch ver. 1.013 which is now available in the Users Section of the Majestic Software website. While the fixes may not appear to be many they are rather significant for some users.

The Patch addresses: 1. Compatibility with Prepar3d ver. 2.5

2. Fixed the problem with the camera cycling in Prepar3d.

Now for a sneak peak from behind the scenes:

A few weeks ago we showed a few pics of the HUD in its early development stage, which I must say is coming along very nicely. However, I am going to share two additional images (sill work-in progress) of the HUD system.

ATTENTION Fellow Airmen: With the unfortunate news of the German Wings crash on the 24th of March it is with sad regret that I share the following news with you:The FS2Crew Team is in official mourning over the loss of fellow FS2Crew Team member, Maik Korolczuk, who died tragically in the recent German Wings crash in France.Maik recently finished commercial pilot training and was working as cabin crew on board the ill fated flight.Maik was very active with FS2Crew.He was the European (German) First Officer voice for the PMDG 777 and Majestic Dash 8 versions of FS2Crew. He was also an active beta tester for both products.Next time you're flying with FS2Crew 777 or Dash 8 and you're using the European voice set, please take a moment to think of Maik.We the Majestic Software Team will be keeping his family and all others affected by this tragedy in our prayers, May his eternal SOUL Rest In Peace.
